What is sad is few people understand this, let alone believe it. Thanks for posting this.

He can't blow smoke because he doesn't inhale.

Possum, you old marsupial you. The only flying you're doing is under your own power. I miss your dissertations.

DT BIG happy birthday to you and thanks for all the laughter. Brob, HB to you 2

+1 for you both.

SgtFury, be careful what you wish for; look at what God did for Sarah so she could bear Isaac. From what I've read she was way past child bearing years. Smiley faces here if this iPhone had them. JK BTW :^)

Davis, how much you want for the dog and what breed? LOL!! Shoot, King Bean, I see you beat me to him. HA!

My friend just did her taxes and the penalty for no insurance came out of her refund. What ticks me off is her annual salary puts her in the poverty category and she cannot afford insurance even with "help" on the rate. She is not a govt bloodsucker and won't take food stamps etc. I worry that she'll end up in bigger trouble by the end of this year 2015 becuz of o-care. What, IMO, a boatload of c_ap.

I remember getting vaccinated for small pox, and polio. I had all the childhood diseases and suffer no ill affects. I remember being very sick from the small pox shot as that time it was a hot vaccine. I'm not convinced either vaccinating kids to heck and back is good. So much concern over germs they've no natural immunity left. Eat better, less junk etc and kids would be in better shape.

Where is the written proof of this; not the Tony gossip garp?

DL, +1 for booster, gotcha covered. Great post, thank you, worth printing and studying.

Snow, you so crack me up! Perfect.

Ah Luigi (in my best Italian accent) - not only an Elvis sighting, but also UFO.

Snow, where do you get those absolutely hilarious and cute pics - LOVE THEM!

Luigi1 - you've been a smoking too much Poppy3; amazing you put yourself out there almost daily with this baloney.

I'M VIP and once I logged in, they went away.

moose, you slay me - you go moose!

DT, does it count that I've been ready for years? I'd go for the $3.22 in a heartbeat, heck even for the $1.00

:wub:How cool to be missed and this much loved!

I want a flat tax - 10% for the feds, 3% for the state and 2% for the local governments - all on equal footing and no more tax dodging. Also, get rid of sales taxes etc. - we're taxed into our graves and the only way to get away from the IRS is to "kick the bucket."

How can Citigroup even make such a stupid statement which is diametrically opposite of the latest ME shek indicating it will rise to $200 a barrel over the next 4-5 years??? No wonder Citigroup has a reputation of garbage and cow or horse pucky? Unless the US does something like the pipeline from the Canadian oil sands or continues to explore what we are sitting on here in the U.S., prices are going to rise and they are already doing so locally. Last week I paid $1.87 for super unleaded and this week it is $2.21.

SgtFury - thank you for the update - I've thought of them and Sandfly often - this news makes me very sad, yet she has moved onto a far, far better place. Prayers for her family and for SF's safety.

I get the dislike of the cost per barrel of oil, but frankly, it sure makes my paycheck go farther and I don't feel like the oil companies are getting 3000% profit as they have in the past. While I feel horrible for those laid off, I'm glad big oil is taking it in the shorts for a change when it comes to money and profits.

Wow! That's harsh.......... I know that the "world" believes it is a big deal to host the Olympics - unfortunately it is extremely costly with no after thought by many countries on how the premises will be used after the Olympics are completed. I do know that London did a good job on its development and tear down for use of the stadiums in other parts of England. I think the financial stress, political stress etc. are making it less desirable all the time.

ah dog - only you Eagle Eye - what was it like - what thoughts did you walk away with regarding the shroud?
